Today, May 27, SE opened a webpage commemorating the 40th anniversary of the birth of "Dragon Quest". Yuji Horii, the game's biological father, delivered a speech to celebrate. Let's learn more about it. "Dragon Quest" is one of the best-selling long-lived game series in gaming history and is known as the "national RPG" in Japan. The story is directed by Yuji Horii, Koichi Sugiyama is responsible for the composition of the game music, and the manga artist Akira Toriyama is responsible for the character design. The music of the series is performed with symphony and establishes the status of Japanese RPG.
The first generation of the game was released on the FC platform on May 27, 1986. The first game in the series and the sequel "Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil" were released in North America under the name "Dragon Warrior" in 1989 and 1990 respectively. The latest 12th generation of the series is currently in production.
· Yuji Horii’s thoughts:
Hello everyone, my name is Yuji Horii. The first generation was released in 1986, so it has been 40 years. Many thanks to players for their support over the years.
It was originally started with the concept of "creating a TV RPG for the whole family to play around the fire", and now it has become a huge story that can be shared by three generations of grandparents.
Consoles are changing, and times are also changing. I always insist that the most important thing is to "become the protagonist of the story and maintain a fresh sense of substitution." Life is actually a real "RPG". You will often hit walls and fall into troughs, right? However, as long as you take it one step at a time and persist in not giving up, you will always open up a new path.
Even though it’s been the 40th anniversary, my sense of adventure has not ended, and I want to continue to bring new stories to add color to everyone’s lives in the future.
